Deep Words Of Wisdom About Life

I got the sad news yesterday that my wonderful childhood friend, Jo Wilson , passed away. It really hit me hard to hear this. Jo was dealt a difficult card in life when her little sports car was hit by a semi truck head on in the early 90’s. What a terrible day that was. It confined her to a wheelchair the rest of her life. I remember it like it was yesterday and all of the recovery that she had to go through. Even with the accident, she let nothing hold her back from living a fulfilling life. She was an exceptional human, always smiling, always asking ME how I was doing. She had a way of always making me laugh no matter the circumstances. She was unlike any other friend I have ever had. And now she is fully restored, walking the streets of Heaven. Today I will share some words of wisdom about life concerning faithfulness and decision-making, and wrongdoing...all in honor of good ol' Jo's untimely death:

FAITHFULNESS: Being faithful in relationships isn't just about staying out of somebody else's bed, but about emotional integrity. It's way deeper than physical. It's the texts you don't send, the flirty conversations you don't entertain, and the decisions you make when no one's watching. Being faithful isn't just about avoiding the act of cheating. It's about consciously removing yourself from any situation that could potentially blur the lines. It's about not seeking validation or attention from anyone outside the relationship. It's about not having anything on your phone that you wouldn't want your partner to see. Being truly faithful is not just about physical monogamy.

DECISION-MAKING: When you base your decisions on the opinions and influence of others, then are losing your sense of self which leads to making choices that do not align with your OWN values, well-being and goals. Your OWN decision-making is crucial for personal growth because relying on others with "stronger personalities" only stifles your growth. True self-confidence comes from making your OWN decisions, learning from your OWN outcomes, and trusting your OWN judgment. It is healthiest to always use your OWN critical thinking before making final choices, because future regret can only be the responsibility of the person who made the decision. So, better make sure it was your OWN decision, and not just believing what otters said, instead of finding or seeing TRUTH first. Having a strong personal internal compass is very important because if it is not strong enough, then it can be easily influenced or manipulated by others. Always trust you OWN judgement and follow your OWN heart for the most fulfilling life. Listening to slander is unwise because it may expose you to untrue or harmful information, which can lead to misguided judgments. Engaging with or accepting slander without critical thinking and evaluation, is considered poor judgment. If people communicated and shave sought to understand each other better, there would be less gossip, slander, and strained relationships in this world. Uncomfortable conversations create healthy relationships.



WRONGDOING: You make a choice to do something wrong, if somebody verbally berates you because you were doing something wrong you have another choice to make. Escalate by making it physical or de-escalate and take your lump. No judgement from me… I’m likely to just remind you of the old saying… “two wrongs don’t make a right.” Maybe this golden oldie.. “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” or “I’m rubber you’re glue whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.”  Once again no judgment from me because I follow the old saying “speak softly and carry a big stick.” But, be just prepared to face the consequences. You can do whatever you want just remember you will pay the piper.
